This realm is infamous for the Argent Dawngnome raids. These events would occur when the server has unbearable lag or goes down. Many, sometimes hundreds, of Blackrock players create level 1 gnomes on the Argent Dawn role playing realm and raid Ironforge, spamming text in chat channels and annoying players. The majority of players joined a guild named <Exiles of Blackrock>. This behavior greatly annoyed the Argent Dawn population and was discouraged by Blizzard. Contrary to popular belief this is not a valid roleplaying event. The Blackrock denizens sole purpose is to disrupt Argent Dawn, usually by creating characters with vulgar names and spamming the server's Alliance trade channels with sophomoric humor or atlasloot links of Thunderfury. Despite numerous complaints and petitions from the Argent Dawn community, the guild <Exiles of Blackrock> continues to exist on the server and Blizzard has taken little (if any) action against the guilty.

Blackrock's PvP Community

Blackrock has long been home to some of the most elite PvPers in the Warcraft community. Beginning in Vanilla WoW, a couple of Blackrock's guilds competed in the Battlegroup 9 Warsong Gulch League. This league influenced one of the decorated guilds in the US to transfer to Blackrock, a Horde guild named Nurfed. Teams forged by Nurfed and an Alliance guild named Eminence laid a foundation for a strong PvP atmosphere on Blackrock.

At the beginning of TBC and arenas, Blackrock had a strong showing along with Tichondrius in the arena ladders. Practically every top team was either from Tichondrius or Blackrock (with a couple from Kil'jaeden). Due to Bloodlust's infamous PvP scene, at the beginning of Season 2, teams from all over North America have flocked to this Battlegroup and the most competitive arena ladders began.

After WOTLK began, Blackrock was again a hotbed for PvPers during this expansion. The server really became the epicenter of WoW PvP when an epic battle for rank 1 took place. Both teams were the first to reach the 3000 rating in the world and a showdown between Reckful/Euneek/Fuzionn of Blackrock and Yog/Douja/Woundman of Tichondrius. Reckful's team defeated the Tichondrius team, and created a lot of hype that influenced arena enthusiasts from all over the nation to come to Blackrock.
